la laws, but people can go to city boreds other to indiana, right across the state borders and buy without a background check all the groups that they want. that is exactly why we need national regulations, why we need universal background checks. the accessibility of guns is just too much. >> it's interesting, i was talking with a republican conservative from louisiana yesterday and he's watched this debate from both sides. we were discussing universal background checks and during our conversation, it really hit home to him the notion that someone can go to a private owner or a gun show and buy a gun, a weapon, without any i.d., without any background check i should say. 92% of americans, including nra members support this. why do you believe the nra is still defiant, at least on universal background checks where people cannot just walk to a gun show or walk to a private home and walk away with a weapon? >> the answer is really simple, tamron. the leadership of the nra, the top executives of the nra, their business is helping the ma manufacturers, their organizational supporters, to sell

the "today" show that tom and i used to do, they talk about new york being the city that never sleeps. yes, it did. we would arrive in a very quiet city. 30 rock, there was no one here. they maybe had polished the floors, but the floor polishers were gone. today it's so alive. segments are 3 1/2 minutes long. >> it's earlier. >> it's like riding a bush in rush hour traffic on the fdr drive. i don't know how the stamina to be a host on the morning shows, it's very, very different. and it's a much bigger -- a bigger audience that americans are still the most productive on earth. we get up early. we go to work. you know, we work late. but i think morning television has always been the freshest, most dynamic part of television. the fact that my friends tell me that you were talking yesterday, you know, people are there. they're really watching. >> we were talking about it all morning. >> so many things have changed. well, i told them i had a crush on you growing up. >> i know, i heard that. >> the thing is everything's changed -- >> are you saying you got over it? >> no, i never said that

the hardest forecast is the new york city because the temperatures are kind of borderline. it may start as snow, go over to rain, a little sleet and back over to snow late. that's why the snow totals for new york, i have them down to six to ten inches. if it's all snow, it could be as much as 14 inches in new york city. that's the big question mark. hartford's going to get nailed, also all the way to southern portions of new hampshire and portland, maine. i mentioned temperatures. notice it's 38 in philly, 34 in baltimore. that's why southwards i don't think you'll get much out of this at all. that's why d.c.'s not getting snow. look how cold it is in the new england area. this is how it plays out. again, the bottom line, the worst of the storm arrives after noon today. so if you're in northern jersey, new york city area, long island, connecticut, hudson valley all the way through eastern mass and rhode island, do not be on the roads after noon today. that's the most important message everyone needs to know because if you do that and you get stuck on the roads, it's going t

and the push for better gun control come from cities. obama is a city guy. you know? he lived in cities. he's hailed from cities. grew up in honolulu and moved to l.a. and lived in new york and boston and later chicago. so i think the time is right and what i point to in the piece is two things. one, we need a department of cities to make the investments we're making in this country on infrastructure, in the environment, on. >> fordable housing and job creation and if we think where that bull work of bipartisan change will come from, who are the pragmatic leaders in the country, the president should go right to the mayors, whether it's a republican or independent like mike bloomberg, an independent like rahm emanuel. they have the solutions so i think he can not only make urbanism part of the jaebd, gun control agenda, immigration reform agenda, he can break the deadlock in washington appealing to the people who want positive change. >> richard, dig down a little bit in to the department of cities, what exactly would it do, how would it work? >> well, my sense is that
